In a week when Lawless, Anna Karenina, Dredd and That's My Boy are released, the Empire Podcast team review Lawless, Anna Karenina, Dredd and That's My Boy — plus news, general movie waffle and an interview with John Hillcoat and Nick Cave.

Unfortunately, due to our podcast studio exploding during our chat with the director and writer of Lawless, the sound quality during our 10 minute discussion is somewhat on the shonky side, though still well worth a listen (it kicks off at the 29.55 mark).

So for that, as well as debates on the nature of twist-filled movies, Jim Carrey appearing in Kick-Ass 2 and the return of Delpy, Hawke and Linklater for Before Midnight, click play on the SoundCloud file below.

Don't forget, as well as SoundCloud, you can also download the Empire Podcast from our RSS feed or subscribe to us on iTunes.
